Over the past 20 years, I think the question I’ve most been asked it “How did you come up with In-Edit?”
During these two decades, many colors of the political “spectrum” have ruled, we celebrated Sonar’s tenth and twentieth birthdays, Primavera gave us a fright or two, the Internet became a way of life, social networks arrived, as did economic crises, Filmin was born and with them, online viewing platforms, we had consultation and referendum… And to top it all, we even had a global pandemic.
If today we can present this 20th edition, it’s not down to the original idea, it is thanks to the passion and countless wills that made it possible. In-Edit has a life of its own and breeds life. It was built with a ton of effort, laughter and tears, many tears, with resounding successes and roaring blunders, and based on disputes, fights, patience, understanding, hugs and kisses.
I apologize if sometimes we have not been able to do better throughout all this time and I thank all those who helped us so generously in times of adversity. This edition is dedicated to all of you. And I mean absolutely everyone: fans, collaborators, sponsors, institutions, volunteers, directors, distributors, movie theaters and press from all over the world, those who spoke well of us and those who did not. All of you helped us to grow and improve as much as possible. For that, I thank you all.
We believed in and built an industry that was practically non-existent, we have been able to tell stories from unprecedented points of view that have made us grow, that have not left us indifferent.
Thanks to the will and the restlessness of the directors who felt the need to shoot a situation, an artist, an environment, that makes something unique visible and that will remain there, for eternity.
Thanks to the stubbornness and willpower of our partners around the world, who fought to make this madness happen, so that more people from different cultures could create and enjoy films.
Long live In-Edit, and may the future bring us at least as much life!
